Castlevania

Castlevania is a horror animation tv series based on the 1989 video game Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse created by Konami. Richard Armitage, Graham McTavish voice the main characters Trevor Belmont and Dracula.

When his wife is burned at the stake accused of being a Witch, the vampire Count Dracula swears revenge on the people on Wallachia and will make them pay with their lives. He unleashes his army of monsters from hell causing all the people to live in fear.

But when Trevor Belmont, the last living member of the Belmont clan who have been disgraced and excommunicated by the church takes up arms against Dracula’s forces along with a magician Sypha Belnandes and Dracula’s son Alucard and put an end to Dracula’s reign of evil.

I was very impressed by the first series of the show but a little disappointed that it was only 4 episodes long but a lot is fitted into the episodes, The animation was very good and keeping in style that its based on a Japanese Video game franchise. The story and characters all fit in well together and we are introduced to these characters and are always learning something new about them which is great character development.

Richard Armitage who voices Trevor Belmont just gives the character more tone and depth and really bring the character to life.

Like I mentioned earlier my only issue was that its only 4 episodes to this season.

Any fan of the Castlevania game franchise will be very happy with this adaptation.
